'Jackass 3D' Nets $50 Million In Opening Weekend, Splattering Runner-Up 'Red' In Brown Stuff And Setting Record For Highest-Grossing October Release

America just couldn't wait to see Steve-O's balls in the third dimension. "Jackass 3D," third filmic spinoff of MTV's infamous gross-out series, opened this weekend to disgusting amounts of success.

Moviegoers dropped an estimated $50 million on the film between Friday and Sunday, more than doubling the income of runner-up "Red" and making it the highest-grossing October release of all time.

On top of that, the "Jackass" crew's latest stint was met by relatively glowing reviews, combining for an average of 70 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. (At this point, the only thing more surprising is that the record-holder for six years prior was "Scary Movie 3.")
